homo, homo on the range
Just listened to the new Willie Nelson sung song about faggoty cowboys ("Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly, (Fond of Each Other)".
There are a couple good lines of lyrics:
"Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out" and
"You can't fuck with the lady that's sleeping in each cowboy's head"
[Okay, I really love those lyrics only 'cause they'll make Hame squirm.]
Like the movie Brokeback Mountain the song is just a considerable disappointment. I mean, what could be better than a movie about cowboys loving each other or a country and western (heavy on the western) song about cowboys who is fags?
The song's words are really not lyrics as they are incredibly clumsy (even in coming out of a seasoned talking-can-be-singing artist like Nelson) and lack any rhythmic qualities whatsoever--which is especially critical given the song is meant to rely on its message and lyrics, as it has no real melody either. No toe tapping here, no catchy-enough-to-repeat-in-yer-head-all-day lyrics (compare: "Momma don't let yer babies grow up to be cowboys")
Willie didn't write the song. And even his particular (and delightful) twangy-blues style can't save it. Still it'll surely become a cult hit given its subject matter and the fact it has the word fuck in it.

Damn, now I'm just feelin' empty, in need ah some good profoundly sad (steel guitars wailin') country music... Where's No Show Jones when ya need him?

Seriously? Well, I have never listened to one piece of country music until the end of the song.... I don't know. It irritates me or haunts me. :-( Not that I am against it. It doesn't do good to me... that's all. :-)
